fs: don't use igrab() while holding i_lock



Fix the incorrect use of igrab() inside the i_lock in NFS and Ceph‥

If we are already holding the i_lock, we have a reference to the
inode so we can safely use ihold() to gain an extra reference. This
avoids hangs due to lock recursion on the i_lock now that the
inode_lock is gone and igrab() uses the i_lock itself.
